Business Insider Reports Ron Paul Winning Many More Delegates Than Reported

Mitt Romney is the nominee, right? I mean the fat woman, I mean Mitt for Brains has sang, hasn't he?



Well not so fast. The delegates that show Mitt Romney will win aren't even committed. In states like Iowa, where Romney was once declared the winner, well those delegates aren't so ready to cast their support for Mitt for Brains. It turns out one media source if finally letting the dogs out, and they aren't being forced to ride upon the roof.

 

Let me answer that for you Mitt for Brains. Business Insider has let the dogs out about a large chunk of delegates Romney once thought were his that are being directed towards Ron Paul's corner as the final numbers come in.

Paul is still quietly amassing delegates at district and county conventions, and is now poised to take a real bite — or at least a big nibble — out of Romney's delegate total. 

In just the last week, Paul locked up 49 delegates, including five in Pennsylvania and four in Rhode Island, two states thought to be firmly on Romney's turf. In Minnesota, Paul won 20 of the 24 delegates awarded at last weekend's district caucuses, an impressive sweep that guarantees that Paul will control a majority of the state's delegation at the Republican National Convention. 

And despite staunch opposition from the state Republican Party, Paul took 20 of the 40 delegates awarded in Missouri last weekend, according to campaign chairman Jesse Benton. 

In at least five other states — Colorado, Nevada, Iowa, Washington, and Maine — Paul has done remarkably well at county and district conventions, and his supporters are expected to win a big chunk of the RNC delegates at the state conventions later this spring.
